The carver shaped this Midnight Spiral Seashell as a smooth, rounded shell with a neat spiral at one end and small knobs along the top. Underneath, it rests on a flat oval face. The wood is so dark it looks almost black, with a soft shine and faint brown streaks near the edges.

Cocobolo is a tropical hardwood from the Pacific side of Panama and Central America. It is so dense it sinks in water, and its natural oils polish to a soft, warm shine. Fresh cut, the wood shows orange and red tones with dark streaks; with age the colors deepen, so no two carvings ever look alike.

Each piece is carved by hand in Panama, in the wood carving traditions of the Emberá and Wounaan peoples. Their carvers have long chosen cocobolo for figures of the animals and plants of the rainforest around them.
